This is Jill Adams the communications director for CFCI. I'm blogging today for our Finance department. They are REALLY busy doing year-end stuff. Balancing accounts. Creating reports for our Board. But most importantly, they are sending out the 2012 receipt letters to our fabulous financial partners. Pretty much everything else stops so they can do this. Our donors are VERY SPECIAL people who deserve our focused attention.
For the past two weeks, I've watched as Marcia, Kathie, and Pat (yes our former Finance department employee even came in to help) diligently work to make sure everything is correct. Faces huddled together peering into the computer screen...the buzz of the printer...lots of caffeinated beverages...amazing.
As the communications director, I really like to communicate. This is not the time for that. This is the time for be-quiet-and-leave-them-alone-to-do-their-thing. It's a time of great discipline for me!
The bottom line is that we REALLY LOVE OUR FINANCIAL PARTNERS!!! Those 100,000 people we reach each year with the Gospel of Jesus Christ couldn't be reached without them. The 300+ mission workers on the CFCI team wouldn't be able to love and serve others without their support. We wouldn't have computers or office space without their generous contributions. I could go on and on.
I know what the Financial folks would want to say, if they were blogging today. "THANK YOU! Please know that we appreciate you and praise God for you!"
